Biblical illiteracy

[Tonus]

WE have no evidence of a group of a million wandered in the Israeli desert

Not only wandered in the desert, but did so for 38 years with the express purpose that everyone over a certain age would have died before the tribe entered the promised land. I think that would have left a great deal of evidence, not just that such a vast number of people were living in the desert, but that they spent decades there and buried thousands (possibly hundreds of thousands) of dead during this time.

Here is a positive statement about Christ being the Son of God and , also God. All else about Christ being or not being God must start from here and match what is said here.

This is where the JWs use the "mistranslated" excuse. They insist on inserting the definite article "a" in John 1:1, so that it reads "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god." Then they use scripture where Jesus refers to "the Father" as a way to differentiate between the two. Since they teach that only JWs have divine guidance, the followers accept the first part. That, by itself, is a very strong influence that the other parts help to support.
